The Art of
Persuading & Influencing People
Getting people to do something they
wouldn’t ordinarely do if you didn’t persuade them

Duration of the course: One day

Course Introduction

In general we don’t get what we want by lying
down, screaming hysterically and drumming our heels on the
floor. The Art of Persuasion involves a more subtle process in
which we consciously seek to establish rapport with the persons
we are trying to persuade. Those people who are interested in
other people find easy to build rapport, but these skills can
also be learned. This workshop will teach you to some simple
techniques, which will help you to do so. The art of persuasion,
of influencing the people around you, is a vital skill in the
workplace, without it you will be simply ineffective. Sure you
can get people to do what you want by exercising your authority,
and bend people to your iron will by coercion or manipulation,
but at the cost of trust and long-term co-operation.

Today businesses are run largely by cross-functional teams of
peers and populated by baby boomers that show little tolerance
for unquestioned authority. Work today gets done in an
environment where people don’t just ask ‘what should I do?’, but
‘why should I do it?’ To answer this ‘why’ question effectively
is to persuade. What separate the master persuaders from the
rest it’s that they have an ability to understand what is going
on in the other person head. More and more researches confirm
that both in our working and personal lives it is persuasive
skills that separate those who succeed from those struggling.
